Will Jai Ho’s loss be One By Two’s gain?

Salman Khan’s Jai Ho, which released last weekend, didn’t live up to its expectations. While this is bad news for Sallu Bhai, it might be great news for the team of One By Two; according to trade analysts.

One By Two is an upcoming film starring Abhay Deol and his girlfriend Preeti Desai. Directed by Devika Bhagat, the film revolves around two people fed up with their respective lives and who want to change their lives.

Rajesh Thadani of Multimedia Combines says “If Jai Ho had done well, it would have been very tough for the next film to do well. So this will be beneficial for One By Two.”

The film is Abhay Deol’s maiden productional venture, co-produced by Viacom 18. It had its share of controversy when Abhay sported a black eye at a promotional event, protesting against T-Series for not paying due remuneration to the musicians of the film.
